Respected Chief Minister, Members of Goa IPB, Dept of IT and other Goa government leaders: *(160+ members of Goan media marked in Bcc)*
It is nearly 3 months since we alerted you about this Gartner global CIO conference happening in Goa barely a month from now. We had even offered you our full hands-on support to represent the cause of IT industry in Goa at this event. However we note with disappointment no response received from your side on this matter till date. Please note that CIOs wield significant influence in corporate boardrooms of the many companies they would represent at this event and by not presenting the Goa IT story here you are denying your government a great opportunity on your home turf to make a strong case for Goa as a promising IT destination while other state governments (e.g. Maharashtra, AP, Chhattisgarh etc.) are proactively chasing such opportunities all over the world. Unfortunately the vibrant yet nascent Goan IT startup community would also be denied a deserving opportunity for representation as well as potential investments. Nevertheless it is still not too late and we could still pull it together if you can make a quick decision and confirm your interest in the next 2 days. In the absence of your confirmation by 29Sep we at GITP will ourselves explore such representation possibilities with the organizers of this event and will do the needful in collaboration with other well-wishers of our cause of a locally sustainable IT industry in Goa. We look forward to your prompt and positive response on this matter. Thank you. -- Regards, Goa IT Professionals www.goaitpro.org On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 8:36 PM, Goa IT Professionals <[email protected]> wrote: > BCC: Members of IPB, Govt. officials, Goan media(178+ recipients), > > Dear all, > > While we pursue our dream of putting Goa on the IT map of the world, a > golden opportunity has landed at our door steps. > > Gartner, world's leading IT advisory company, will bring top CIOs and > executives of the IT world to Goa for a 4-day conference on Digital > business. > http://www.gartner.com/events/apac/goa-symposium > The event is scheduled for 2nd-5th Nov and is expected to be attended by > representatives spanning multiple industries that apply IT as a foundation > of their business. > > Gartner has been conducting this event in Goa year after year.
